[ 31-07-2012 13:10 ]

June aw RIM reporting its worst quarter ever and along with that came plans for a reduction in the workforce 5,000 strong. Now Cantech Letter is reporting that RIM will be looking to reduce its workforce by a further 3,000 by 13th August. The job losses are said to be focused in the customer service, human resources, marketing, non-enterprise sales and global repair services areas of the company. Those in enterprise sales and those working on RIM's forthcoming BlackBerry 10 OS are reported to be safe from the layoffs, at least for the moment. The round of layoffs should be completed by the end of August when RIM will end its second quarter. It's yet another sad chapter for the company as it desperately tries to release BlackBerry 10, which is widely seen as the company's last hope of survival.
